What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

There are 50 million people who are trafficked, enslaved, and exploited today. Breaking free from that abuse is the first step, but each person needs holistic care to walk the journey to healing, restoration and sustained freedom. For nearly 30 years, Hagar has served women and children who have suffered the unimaginable and helped them rebuild their lives. Through Survivor Care, Prevention, and Systems Change, we do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to restore life and dignity.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Hagar's goal is to see individuals and their communities free and healed from the trauma of slavery, trafficking, and abuse.

Survivor Care: Hagar provides residential and community-based survivor care programs in the Asia Pacific region. Led by national teams, Hagar's survivor care services offer safe housing, counseling, case management, health care, education, job services, legal support and finally reintegration services.

Prevention: Hagar trains and equips survivor leaders and local communities to know the signs of human trafficking and to stop exploitation before it starts. Through media and social media campaigns and community training workshops, Hagar supports local leaders to protect the most vulnerable.

Systemic Change: Through partnership with local communities, national governments and global leaders, Hagar works to transform the systems that perpetuate abuse.

Hagar has three decades of experience delivering survivor-informed holistic care, trafficking prevention, and systemic change in the Asia Pacific Region.

Our programs are led by local leaders and implementing partners. Direct program offices are in Afghanistan, Cambodia, Thailand (2023), Singapore, and Vietnam. Hagar supports the capacity building of frontline service providers in Myanmar and the Solomon Islands.

Hagar's survivor care programs are trusted by global partners to walk the whole journey of healing and restoration with each individual. Our prevention and systems change work has influenced thousands of vulnerable people and impacted dozens of policies to protect women and children.

Since 1994, Hagar has supported 21,000 women and children who have suffered the trauma of trafficking, slavery and abuse. Through trauma-informed survivor care, each of these individuals has walked a journey of healing and restoration and found sustained freedom and hope in community.

Hagar also works at the systemic level. Our local-led teams work closely with communities to empower them to know the signs of exploitation, and stop trafficking and slavery before they start. In 2022, we reached over 1 million people with domestic abuse and trafficking awareness.

Through strategic partnerships with government and local leaders, Hagar works to create sustained change in communities around the world.
